Penguin and Macmillan have filed separately disputing the pricing fixing xharges made by the Department of Justice. Publishers Weekly has a lengthly article about who said what about whom in the case. Earlier, three other publishers folded their tents and crept away, and Apple disputed the DoJ's case.

Apple begins mounting its defense in the agency pricing. Yahoo Finance reports: "For Apple to be subject to hindsight legal attack for a business strategy well-recognized as perfectly proper sends the wrong message to the market," it added. "The government's complaint against Apple is fundamentally flawed as a matter of fact and law."
